  • Data shows one in every 21 Giga Texas workers was injured on the job in 2022
  • And now an attorney aiding contract laborers at the factory tells DailyMail.com that there's evidence Tesla UNDER-REPORTED accidents to state regulators 

 

A Tesla engineer was attacked by a robot during a brutal and bloody malfunction at the company's Giga Texas factory near Austin.Two witnesses watched in horror as their fellow employee was attacked by the machine designed to grab and move freshly cast aluminum car parts. 

The robot had pinned the man, who was then programming software for two disabled Tesla robots nearby, before sinking its metal claws into the worker's back and arm, leaving a 'trail of blood' along the factory surface.

The incident - which left the victim with an 'open wound' on his left hand - was revealed in a 2021 injury report filed to Travis county and federal regulators, which has been reviewed by DailyMail.com.

While no other robot-related injures were reported to regulators by Tesla at the Texas factory in either 2021 or 2022, the incident comes amid years of heightened concerns over the risks of automated robots in the workplace.

and the fools want to let a machine drive a car without a human hand involved.

What could possibly go wrong with that?

 

I guess it should come down to what is most reliable and safe - a car controlled by a human or one controlled by a computer.

What does a production line accident, involving machinery, have to do with self drive computer technology?

 

The accident was in 2021, and resulted in an open wound on the left hand.

 

Dramatic headlines, but expected from a piece of sh#t newspaper, like the Mail.

 

I do not like Musk, but this seems just a bit of bashing only.

 

Accidents in USA industries are not rare.

its a machine if you get in the way you could get hurt. It didn’t attack anyone. 
 

anything to have a go at Musk.

 

 

 

Trouble with these machines that a rope and a tree just wouldn't do.

Factory machines are normally designed to avoid injury to humans. I guess someone messed up, either in the machine design, lack of safety features or human error.

 

Machines have been assembling cars for many years without mutilating humans, so is something different in the Tesla factory?
